Now we now need a few short, good reviews.

This novel's plot can be described in one sentence (called a logline):

Set in the 2020s, a young woman, supported by an Artificial Intelligence, driven from her home by storms and rising seas embarks on a life affirming struggle to find and support so many people in action on our climate crisis.

Our YouTube has exciting information on the novel.

We now have a fun YouTube describing Born to Storms!

What should we do next? We now have a YouTube discussing that question.

Web Page Freebies

Our book is not yet available but here are some freebies right off this page to you:

1. Born to Storms Tech Manual

   To be sure that our novel reflected the latest information on climate change and technology in our society, we have prepared this Technical Manual. This .pdf file includes lengthy technical discussions, following the chapters in the book, and provides an extensive list of reference. It also includes an introduction to the author.

2. Bonus Chapter I -- Science Project

   These two chapters were replaced in the manuscript. The reviewers request something more people oriented. They are provided here for free as examples of the technical aspects of the work. The first bonus chapter is about Sarah and JanetA entering a science fair.

3. Bonus Chapter II -- Network

   The second bonus chapter is about networks, what they are and what they might be worth. This chapter is very technical.
